    • tight particle distribution with maximum yield on specification
    • sizing flexibility with interchangeable tooling
  • Versatile
    • handles a wide variety of base materials including ones traditionally difficult to grind
    • can be adapted for inert milling or cryogenic applications for products with low melting temperatures
    • XP, FP and remote electrical options available
    • CE certified
  • Ideal for Process Integration
    • turn key automated process system
    • mobile unit
    • compact footprint
    • low noise, dust, heat and energy consumption
  • Cleanability
    • sanitary GMP design with a minimal number of parts for easy clean and maintenance
    • quick disassembly of contact parts suitable for ultrasonic cleaning, washing and autoclaving

Innovative Technology for Fine Grinding

Quadro’s continuous efforts to innovate process technology in the field of size reduction are once again realized with the development of the Model F10 fine grinding concept. The Model F10 offers the following benefits:

  • Savings - reduced downtime, space requirements, rapid product changeover and enhanced process efficiency.
  • Quick disassembly - for maintenance, tool change and cleaning.
  • Low power consumption - as compared to traditional mills.
  • Low noise - hearing protection and sound proofing are not a necessity.
  • Uniform grinding capabilities - higher yields on specification.
  • Wide tooling selection - to meet all grinding needs.


Typical Applications for the Fine Grind Mill

  • Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
  • Nutritionals/Nutraceuticals
  • Fine Chemicals
  • Flavors/Fragrances
  • Excipients
  • Cosmetics
  • Herbs/Spices
  • Polymers

Free Process Testing

To guarantee that you achieve precise results, Quadro encourages all customers to take advantage of free process testing at our R&D Test Centre. Quadro can also offer a rental F10 for product testing at your facility. Our qualified personnel will assist you in training your operators to use the machine and maximize the full potential the F10 offers.

  

Principle of Operation

Raw material is control fed into the control chamber where a rotating impeller imparts a vortex flow pattern to the incoming product. Through centrifical acceleration, the product is directed to the screen surface ensuring optimal delivery into the action zone where size reduction takes place. The finished product is then discharged from the milling chamber into the collection system.
